The Senbete Market is a big market held every Sunday in the city of Senbete. It is said that 250 years ago, Haji Bushra, a senior religious leader who lived in the area of Duguru, established a market in the area where this city is located to avoid the conflict between the local people.
The market day was originally on Sunday. Since then, her market has been held on Mondays. But since Monday is a working day, it was again made to be Sunday during the Derg era. The Sunday market is made up of many ethnic groups, making it a special theater stage: the Oromo, Amhara, Afar and Argoba ethnic groups meet in the market with their traditional costumes and decorations, and they are like a museum for visitors.
A person who knows their culture can easily tell who belongs to which nation. This is not the only thing that makes this market look like a theater, there are a lot of traditional jewelry, clothes and handicrafts in the market. Local and foreign tourists are seen in large numbers buying these traditional ornaments and clothes.
